ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) recently announced Zephyrus S GX531, the latest model in the ROG Zephyrus series, which sets a new milestone for ultrathin gaming laptops.

The Zephyrus S is 14.95~15.75mm thin, which is 12% slimmer than the original Zephyrus (GX501). It’s equipped with the latest Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU and up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics, making it ideal for both work and play.

The Zephyrus S comes with a super-narrow bezel 15.6-inch display that features 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. An all-metal chassis makes the laptop strong enough to meet military-grade durability standards without compromising on design.

The laptop also comes with an advanced cooling system, the proprietary Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) — a design and engineering hallmark of the Zephyrus series to ensure optimal performance of all components.

Since the original Zephyrus, ASUS has worked closely with panel maker AUO to ensure ROG laptops have the very best displays for gaming. The 120Hz panel on the initial version doubled the refresh rate of conventional displays, while Zephyrus S pushes the refresh rate to 144Hz, and reduces blurring and ghosting by lowering the response time to 3ms.

Built for more than just speed, the IPS-type AHVA panel also has excellent image quality. It covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut, ensuring richness of color, and wide viewing angles keep the picture from washing out when viewed in split screen.

Zephyrus S is capable of heavy workloads in the same way it handles exhaustive gameplay. The latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H processor offers six cores and 12 threads of parallel processing power that can easily handle demanding work like compiling, rendering, and content creation. The extra cores also provide headroom for multitasking allowing for a mix of gaming with live-streaming, recording, and other tasks.

GeForce 10-series graphics — up to the GTX 1070 with Max-Q Design — boost performance in apps that support GPU acceleration. More importantly, the discrete graphics chip is capable of pumping out triple-digit frame rates in popular games, allowing for optimal use of the display.
